JAMES MALONEY, OF PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, ASSIGNOR TO JOSEPH OOFFIN, OF SAME PLACE.

EXTRA'CTOR FOR BREAKDOWN GUNS.

SPECIFICATION forming ,part of Letters Patent No. 271,645, dated Februray 6, 1883.

Application filed August 5, 1882. (No model.)

[o all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JAMES MALONEY, of

Providence, in the State of Rhode Island, have made certain new and useful Improvementsin Breech-Loading Fire-Arms; and 1 do hereby declare that thefollowing speeitioation, taken in connection with the drawings makinga part of the same, is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

Figure lis a view of a gun, showing device for operating extractor. Fig. 2 is a cro-ssec tion of same on line .r x. Fig. 3 shows position of saine with barrel tipped.

My invention relates to breechloading firearms having an extractor for the purpose ot' securing the automatic removal ot' the shell after discharge, and has for its object the positive and compulsory movement ot' the extractor; audit consists in the combination and arrangement of a slide-bar working in camslots with the extractor.

In most, if not all, the breech-loading firearms the operation ot' the extractor is made to depend wholly or in part upon a spring, which is, from the space that can be allotted to it, necesserilyr small, and is frequently out ot' order and oftentimes wholly inoperative. In my invention I slot the forward lug, A, upon the barrel, both horizontally and vertically, and insert therein a slide-bar, B, having upon either side or extending through it a pin, O, projecting beyond the vertical surface of lug A.

D is the extractor, which is connected with the slide-bar B by the rod E, the rod E not being attached to the slide-bar, but resting in contact therewith.

Upon the interior ofthe frame F, and upon each side thereof, I make an oblique or cam groove, G, into which the pins O work. After the piece has been discharged, the barrel is tipped to receive a new cartridge, as shown in Fig. 3. As the barrel begins to move upward the pinsG must ot'ueeessity slide upward in the grooves Gr, which are so inclined as to carry the slide-bar toward the breech ot' the piece. As the slide-bar I3 moves backward the extractor-rod E, which rests in contact therewith, will also be caused to move backward orout-ward,carrying with it the extractor and shell until the barrel has reached its full tip and the extractor been carried to its extreme throw, as shown in Fig. 3, when the shell will either drop out or can be removed with the thumb and finger. At'ter a new cnrtridge is inserted the barrel is brought back to the position indicated in Fig. l, the pins C traveling beck in the grooves G by the action of the extractor and rod, which are pressed back by the frame, until the extractor D has reached its former position.

What Iclaim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a breech-loading lire-arm, the extracting mechanism herein described, consisting ot' the grooves G, the slotted lug A, the slide-har B, having plus O working in the grooves G, the extractor-rod E, and extractor D, the whole constructed, arranged, and operating in the manner substantially as specied.

JAMES MALONEY.
